Twitter Blackout, Why it wouldn't work, what does it exactly mean?

I've been reading some misleading articles in the past few days, describing the new limitation that Twitter will implement on restricting and complying to other countries rules about freedom of speech.



First of all lets get this Pro-Nazi tweets and Antisemitism bullshit out of the way please, these kind of tweets are already heavily moderated and removed all over the world, for instance, the hashtag #IsraelHates, #IsraelLoves trended for 15 minutes at first spot then kaboom, it's gone, and most of the tweets were being putting in the dark corner of the room, although the hash tags included factual numbers and true story about the massive aggression against the normal civilian Palestinians human rights day in and day out.

Moving on. It is against the law in many country to organize a political demonstration, or to protest against the government. There are many countries where human rights, torture, child labor, Women's rights are regarded as illegal to talk about, defend and support. In many counties it's illegal for women to talk with strangers - by customs, tradition and religious believes.


In this case, Twitter will stop any accounts and removed any tweets that talks about or support or expose the Syrian regime which up until now has killed over 9,000 lives. Since this revolution considered against the Syrian law, would Twitter be removing or resurrecting tweets from Syrians to reach other Syrians? and Since most Syrians have very limited means of communications Twitter and other social network considered now as a life saver/last resort for people to communicate. Wouldn't that be accessory to murder? or wait a minute these Syrians are Arab, so why the fuck should I care? let's them all burn these Haji Jihadi suicide bombers, women jailers child rapists commi fucks! huh, says a lot about your contradictions right?

And for those how say Twitter is a private company and they are free to do what ever pleases them.
Okay, you are right, Twitter IS a PRIVATE COMPANY that provide COMMUNICATIONS & SOCIAL NETWORKING services, it's called SOCIAL NETWORKING not STATE NETWORKING.
My points is, if I produce kitchen knifes and someone uses one of my knifes to commit murder I am not responsible for that. And that is completely correct. BUT, if 2 men witnessed someone killing someone else, and one of the 2 men wants to inform the police while the other one disallowed the first from telling the police, what do you call that? What do you call someone harboring a killer? What do you call someone knowingly covering the evidence of a killer and the crime he made? If Corporations are people, wouldn't they abide the same laws as the rest of us? BUT another BUT (I like BUTS :D lol) this but is very important but. But don't companies have obligation towards the societies? don't they abide certain rules about life damaging? for instance like dumping dangerous garbage in the rivers which protects people form let's say DYING??? So why Twitter shall have the right to KILL PEOPLE, or HELP KILLING PEOPLE or even HELP COVERING UP ON THE KILLERS? why?

People in the west, specially American and Europe's conservative wings always criticize Arabs by being backwards, anti feminine, child abusers ect. Now that you've seen how social networks helped Arabs getting rid of the dictators that provided the right circumstance to have backward uneducated society that oppress freedoms and mistreat and abuse women and children alike, after all that you want twitter to help censor the rest of the Arab countries that have yet to organize a revolution !!

You have the right to believe in what you want, so do I.
You have the right to say what ever you want, so do I.
You have the right to support ACTA, SOPA, PIPA, Twitter censorship, the same way I have the right to say to you FUCK YOU.


And finally and to the most important thing. This hole boycott or not tweeting or even deactivating twitter account won't work.

Simply, Twitter announcement indicating that they are going into more international expanding. This only means that China in going to allow Twitter to be used by Chinese people, specially after these restriction.
Twitter now have supposedly have more than 300 Million REGISTERED USERS, around 50 Million of them are ACTIVE USERS, so a move into China would fuel Twitter with at least 300 Million users Half of them would be Active users, so they wouldn't care for sure about the few millions that will leave twitter.

What to do?
For a person like me, who somtimes tweets about Human rights in the middle east, women's rights and children rights, which are all falls under the restriction of Herr Twitter. I would just continue to do what I do best and hope that HACKERS will find a way to turn around this modern warfare against the power of the people.

As for Twitter, Wait until the IPO is over in 2 or 3 years span, It will die just like Facebook.
And just like Facebook and Twitter were created other social sites will be created to suit the masses.

Pray for Iraq, Palestine, Syrian, Bahrain, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, The victims of the natural disasters in East Asia region, The Afghans under the suppression, Iran's fighters against the Mullah and religious dictatorship. Pray for those who wants peace and human justice and fairness to all human kind.

Mr. Big Brother - FUCK YOU
